West Bengal Annapurna Bhandar Scheme: Annapurna Bhandar Yojana, which gives ₹ 3000 every month to women, has been started in West Bengal. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari himself started it by giving checks to the women. Lakhs of women of the state are going to benefit greatly from this scheme. But at present the most discussed thing is the 11-page long form of the scheme. People are wondering how to fill such a huge form and how should a small mistake prove costly. If you are also worried about this matter, then this news is very useful for you. Let us know how to fill this form without any mistakes so that your application gets passed in the first try.
Why is Annapurna Bhandar Yojana form so long?
This time the government has made the form very long, due to which it is being criticized a little. But the government says that they want to keep this scheme completely clean. According to Women and Child Development Minister Agnimitra Paul, many irregularities were revealed in the old ‘Lakshmi Bhandar’ scheme. This is the reason that all the 2.2 crore beneficiaries of the old scheme will now have to fill a fresh form for this new scheme. This time, complete details are being asked in the form only to prevent corruption.
4 tips to avoid rejection while filling Annapurna Bhandar form
1. Provide correct proof of age
This scheme is only for women between 25 to 60 years. Therefore, submit only that proof of your age (like Aadhar Card or Voter ID) in the form in which the date of birth is absolutely clear and correct.
2. Bank account details
Every month ₹3000 will come directly into your account. Therefore, fill your bank account number, IFSC code and name correctly. Carry only a clear photocopy of the passbook.
3. Do not hurry at all
The government has given full 90 days (3 months) to submit the form. You have enough time, so fill each column of the form slowly and carefully.
4. Take help from government employees
The Chief Minister has clearly said that the state government employees will fully assist the women in filling this form. If you don’t understand anything, take help from the help desk instead of filling it out incorrectly yourself.
Name of beneficiaries of Annapurna Bhandar Yojana will be public
Chief Secretary Manoj Aggarwal has said that after filling the form, the names of all the passed beneficiaries will be put before the public. This is being done so that if someone is taking money wrongly, people can raise objection on it. Therefore do not hide any information in the form.
